My Views and Ratings
The Packaging
This body lotion comes in a white plastic bottle with a sturdy green cap. The packaging is simple, but yet cute and I love it. Because of the firmness, it is travel friendly too. And an another advantage is that, this is not a use and throw bottle. I am planning to save these empty containers and fill my homemade creams :P Love the packaging overall.
4.9/5
Colour, Consistency & Texture
The lotion has a very creamy consistency, slightly runny, smooth and perfect for a gentle body lotion. To say an example, the texture is like that of melted vanilla ice cream :D The lotion quickly spreads onto my skin and gets absorbed. Fragrance is very mild and gentle and it has a herbal tint, still I expect some fruity or sweet smell in it (Greedy me, he he) :P No bad I find.
4.5/5
How it Works
As I said before, this is my HG lotion because it works perfectly on my oily skin in this humid weathers in Chennai. It is very hot and sweating here, so whenever I use this lotion on my skin I feels light and refreshed instead of being greasy or sticky. I agree that this lotion doesn't suit for dry skins anytime, but that cant be taken as a con at all as they didn't claim it. This is a normal skin body lotion and it does a decent job in summer for both normals and oilies. Dry skins should stay away because this won't help you and normal skins should also opt for some other nourishing ones in winters. Being a normal to oily skinned person, this just works great on me. My skin feels soft with regular usage and I use it allover my body everyday after bath. In hard winters, I needed to go for some other lotion or else apply this once in every 3 hours which ends up wasting my pocket money :P So, listen Himalaya nourishing body lotion, you are my very best friend in summers! Love you!
